We Had An Accident

As many of you know, another accident happened in front of Earl Legette Elementary School this week. I’m a strong believer that very few people in this world intentionally want to hurt complete strangers. On the road, most accidents are due to distraction or ignorance. Just as important as it is to look out for pedestrians and cyclists when driving, as underdogs of the road, pedestrians and cyclists NEED to put in extra effort to be seen! PLEASE attach flags to kids’ bikes and urge your young ones to wear bright colors. We are all so inundated with visual stimulants these days, it’s VERY EASY to overlook a small person on a small bike even in a crosswalk. Fortunately the kid’s helmet saved his life. Thank goodness he was wearing it.
